Analyst Skills

Analyst Skills are Extra or Unique passive Skills focused on analysis. While they're not used as directly in fights as other Skills, they help in other manners. Mainly, they improve one's chances of successfully acquiring other skills via copying/plundering Skills like Pride, Predator, Gourmet, Usurper or Gluttony, and are thus important skills to obtain.

Each Analyst Skill has two statistics with varying levels :


 * Material Analyst improves one's chances of dropping Magic Ore shards when mining it by 25% per level (taking in account the highest Material Analyst stat the player has). Material Analyst II or above is required to use the Reinforced Anvil without the multiblock.
 * Entities Analyst improves the success rate of copying / plundering skills (Gluttony, Gourmet, Predator, Pride, Usurper), taking the highest stat into account. Entities Analyst II or above is required for Spirit fusing, among other things.

Analyst skills also allow the player to see one's own stats in the Skill Menu accessible by pressing B (default keybind).
